Two words. Hell yeah!
It's natural, it's healthy, it's pleasurable and it's actually super good for you. Don't believe me? Just watch!
But, before we dive into the many advantages of self-love, let's dispel some masturbation myths.
It's not wasteful sperm-wise.
It's not the devil's typewriter.
And, uh, I really shouldn't even have to mention this, but it's not going to cause blindness either.
Masturbation is not second best or second-tier sex to partnered sex. It's just as good and important as sex with a partner. And, for some people, it is the only time that they can reach an orgasm.
In fact, the biggest issue with masturbation is the perception of it. Guilt and embarrassment around the topic still abound and they shouldn't! Yes, extreme levels of masturbation can damage your delicate bits but for most of us, this simply isn't an issue.
I hate to break it to you, but your pleasure is your responsibility. And, you need to be the one to explore your own body and figure out what feels good to you. Once you know what you love and what gets your body smiling, you can share that with your sexual partner or partners and ensure that you get touched, licked, kissed and stimulated just the way you like it.
Masturbation can also help you to learn to appreciate and love your body. A lot of human stress comes from low self-esteem and its common for that to be related to concern about how our bodies look or feel.
Experiencing pleasure from our own bodies is a great way to learn to appreciate, worship and love your body.
Its science! Masturbation releases dopamine and oxytocin into your brain. These chemicals relax your body and mind helping to put you into a better mood. And this is just from touching your genitals. We get real lift-off with those feel-good chemicals when we reach orgasm and the chemicals release even more and send you into a state of bliss. Isn't the brain cool?!
I know your busy and life is full of everyday stresses, but did you know that masturbation helps to lower those stress levels.
That cool brain and those cool chemicals we just talked about? Well, they not only make you feel happy, but they also reward you every time you touch yourself in a pleasurable way by lowering your stress levels.
Yup, when the brain identifies pleasure, stress levels lower and you become more relaxed.
And, being relaxed is the best way to get to sleep too! Reaching orgasm releases an amazing cocktail of hormones that relax you and make you feel sleepy AF. It's the same with partnered sex too. You know the way you start cruising for a snoozing after sex with a buddy? Well, it's the same thing with masturbation.
The more orgasms you have, the more orgasms you want. Easy.
Studies have found that frequent orgasms can prevent infections of the cervix by flushing out old bacteria. And, it's the same for the prostate. Flushing out excess fluid via masturbation can help to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Oh, and it's good for your pelvic floor! Masturbation is literally a workout for your PC muscles and can help to prevent the tissues from weakening as we age. As we reach orgasm, our muscles tense up in the same way that they do when we complete our Kegel exercises.
Let's face it, sometimes our periods suck. But there is a quick and easy activity that can help to relieve pain and ease some of those menstrual cramps. Masturbation! That chemical reaction that makes your mind feel relaxed works on your body too.
If you are worried about a bit of blood. Then stick to clitoral play so you can still get all those pleasurable feelings without any worries.
Masturbations feel amazing and all those benefits are just a bonus to you having a wonderful time with your own body.
So, what's the big deal? We have genitals, it feels good to touch them and there are all sorts of health benefits too. It all sounds bloody good to me. I'm jumping on the jerk-off bandwagon. Who's coming with me?
